Subject: Re: Government deported a U.S. citizen with no process
The mom, who runs a taco truck in SE Washington, ended up on ICE's radar as a part of another investigation. Once you end up on the feds' radar and you're here illegally...the law says what the law says.

That's not what happened here. She didn't "end up" on ICE's radar. They're doing big sweeps of people whose addresses they have and who show up to their ICE hearings, because those are the easy fish to catch. Rather than going after the people that are actually dangerous, because those people are harder (and take more resources) to catch.

So she missed her deportation hearing. There you go.

There I go, what? That doesn't make her a criminal.
